Reasons to choose D-390
Released in 2003, D-390 has about 15 mm² of sensor area, 1.9 MP effective resolution, and a 230 g body. Use these values to narrow the field, not as an overall image-quality score.


The dk4010 has the larger sensor area. More area usually means greater light-gathering potential, though real image quality still depends on sensor architecture and generation.
These cameras were released 2 years apart. Consider sensor generation when comparing pixel metrics.
Amber marks the value that is generally preferable in this comparison context. It is not an overall camera score.
The dk4010 has the larger sensor area. The D-390 has the lighter body. The dk4010 has the higher effective resolution. The dk4010 is the newer release. Also consider the lens system and subjects you shoot.
